Nooruddean Choudry is an author, journalist and broadcaster who has written for the Mirror and the Guardian about football and many other subjects. He was Creative Director at JOE, covering and writing about subjects like politics, culture and social issues. His book, Inshallah United, is a journey celebrating the importance of identity and place, discussing what it was like being an Asian Mancunian kid in the late 1980s and 90s. It’s a deeply personal story of faith and football that charts his life growing up as a strictly halal Stretford Ender, a devout Muslim and diehard Manchester United fan .

Hywel Roberts is guest number 320 on My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he'd like to put in a time capsule; four he’d like to preserve and one he’d like to bury and never have to think about again .
